Hey Ya'll!!!
I don't know if ya'll have noticed it, but there is a new trend in frozen confections going on right now. Gourmet popsicles are all the rage, and you can find them everywhere. Last week, during a nasty heat wave here in North Carolina, I got a hankering for popsicles. I was in our local Wal-Mart when I spotted a bag of Budget Saver Monster Pops, only $2 for 12 popsicles. The Lemon-Lime flavor is what caught my eye...it's always been a favorite of mine. So I took them home and my son and I both grabbed one. We sat on the couch, bit into them at the same time, and then looked at each other all bug-eyed as the taste hit us. These things are GOOOOOD! They're not quite icy, but not quite creamy. I looked at the bag, and saw that they are "slushed" popsicles. I don't know quite how they got that great texture, but I am HOOKED! We polished off the Lemon-Lime bag in a week, and recently went back to Wal-Mart to get a bag of the Cherry-Pineapple varety. Three words, folks....TO DIE FOR. They also come in Cherry-Mango flavor. Haven't tried that one yet 'cause I'm not a big fan of mango, but I'm SURE they're crazy good. They have 60-70 calories per popsicle, with no fat. Reasonably priced and super-tasty, Budget Saver Monster Pops are an awesome heat buster at my house!
Happy Testing!

Girrrrrrl, you are so right about these lemon lime pops. They're amazing! Cool you off and quench your thirst at the same time and are DELICIOUS! I really think they are the best lemon lime pops I've ever had. I buy two bags at a time. At $1.96 for a bag of 12, they are a real savings. The other flavors aren't available at my local Walmart yet. Guess I'll have to ask. Great post!
